Skip’s Comment of the Week: August 27, 2010
Gang! It’s the first Comment of the Week in the post-Piniella era. What a time to be alive! I hope the changes around here aren’t too startling. You know Skip will always be here for you, even after that other #41 abandoned you all. It’s time for yet another weekly comment! This week’s Comment of [...]
3-0? PFFFFFFTTTTT.
So, Mike Quade is off to a pretty good start as interim manager. He’s won three games in a row and swept the mighty Nationals. Wow! I’m sooooooo impressed. What were the Nationals? 53-71 going into Monday night’s game? And they had to face whom? Livan Hernandez? Hell, that guy was practically around when I [...]
Skip’s Comment of the Week: August 13, 2010
Hey there, gang! It’s time for another Comment of the Week. This one is Santo-esque in its brilliance. Blueslacker brings us this gem from the Ronversation post: You failed to meet your contractual obligation to mention at least once what an injustice Ronnie’s exclusion from the HOF is. Way to drop the ball. Why do [...]
Skip’s Comment of the Week: August 6, 2010
Hey there, gang! It’s been a long time since I’ve checked in with a Comment of the Week, and we’re going to do it a bit differently today. Kermit received a couple of cryptic e-mails sent to his old “Fire Lou Piniella” address from a distressed Yankees fan. It’s hard to argue that they are [...]
This date in 1991: An HOF-worthy night
Good afternoon, Cubs fans! We take a brief break from HJE’s active campaign for me to be the Chicago Cubs’ next manager to look back on one of the highlights of the Jim Essian era. It’s the 19th anniversary of my win over Lou Piniella and his Cincinnati Reds that I chronicled well enough for [...]
Time to Fire Up My Troops
Fan club members, Shoutboxers, Cubs fans and others: It’s time to mobilize. We’re halfway to our dream of installing me back in the Cubs dugout. Lou Piniella has announced his retirement effective at the end of the season. I wish him well in Tampa. But I wish myself better in Chicago. Obviously, a lot of [...]
The Secret to Success?
Hello Cub fans and friends! It’s been awhile since I took the time to post anything but my comment of the week. Let’s be honest. Following the Cubs the past couple seasons has been as fun as following the Chicago Blackhawks during the 2004-05 season. But I appear today to pay homage to said Blackhawks, [...]
Skip’s Comment of the Week: May 28, 2010
Hello again, gangsters! It’s been a while since the Comment of the Week. But I’m not going to apologize, because it’ll almost definitely happen again. This Comment of the Week comes from this week’s Muskbox. I believe we have a first-time winner. Mike Fontenot in A Few Good Fontenots writes: Because deep down, in places [...]
Skip’s Comment of the Week: April 16, 2010
I’m back, gang, and I’m bigger than Jesus. No, just kidding. I’m definitely bigger than Kirk Gibson, though, I can assure you of that. It’s Comment of the Week time. It may come as no shock that the Muskbox generates a lot of good comments. It did again this week, courtesy of blueslacker: I wish [...]
Skip’s Comment of the Week: April 2, 2010
Another week, another bunch of comments. Many, many of them were excellent. So you should all give yourselves a hearty dugout clap. But there can be only one Comment of the Week! I believe we have a first-time winner this week. JayT posted this beauty in “The Best $162 I’ve Ever Spent” thread. So if [...]
